MidnightHalcyon chapter 8 . 9/17/2010 Really nice. |
Syndic-Machiavelli chapter 2 . 6/14/2009 In the midst of exams I forgot about this fic! Aren't Casey and Elliot sweet? I'm not familiar with SVU but I could well believe that this is canon, from their interaction. Hopefully you'll make something of Casey's apprehension about how strongly she feels for him. Rebecca is shaping up well as the legal nemesis. (Does legal aid provide defence lawyers for those on trial only if they can't find or afford someone else? If so then I can imagine that Adolphus with all his wealth will use her as a red herring while really getting someone else to write the defence.) I like the rivalry. The "had gotten" when Casey rises from the chair is a pet peeve of mine, but I'll overlook that happily with the quality of the rest of the chapter. Adolphus is turning out to be a cut above the usual manaic in terms of intelligence: I hope there will be a few twists for Elliot to unravel. I'm curious: I plugged ".308 IMBEL" into google and found it to have a 5-round magazine, so why would Adolphus stop at two people, or hit the abdomen instead of somewhere fatal if he has a scope? On to chapter 3! |
Syndic-Machiavelli chapter 1 . 5/9/2009 I like this chapter: there's plenty of intrigue promised in the coming ones and you've even made me feel some sympathy for Wilhelm: after all, he's just a product of his upbringing, unlike his father, who chose to be an NS-member. The only things that I found jarring were slight German errors: * Verdammt for Verdammt noch mal.(Strictly speaking it's an adjective, so it reads oddly without a qualifying noun. Adding the 'noch mal' is the closest you'll get to "Damn!" * Fuhrer for der Führer (Fuehrer if you don't have umlauts). Hitler wasn't female! Unfortunately German changes "the" according to case, number and gender, so: Der Führer... ..the ideals des Führers (or just Nationalsozializmus for the whole phrase) the F's order den Führerbefehl Every other mention of Hitler is OK. (Well, grammatically. As a reader it's extremely unnerving. Well done!) * Hitler-Jugend for die Hitlerjugend (You wrote Schutzstaffel as a single word! Yay! Sorry, the (incorrect) two-word spelling is a pet peeve.) *As a young boy Wilhlem had read: you need the pluperfect because you're describing an action in the past according to your character (about whom you're already writing in the perfect tense). As a writer you've developed the characters well: they are utterly convincing in their strange moral philosophy. I'm on to the next chapter! |

Cardinal Robbins chapter 7 . 9/3/2008 Excellent chapter! I take it that was a ceramic knife he was holding, since it made it past metal detectors and subsequently shattered? |
Shannon chapter 7 . 9/3/2008 For a minute I thought you were going to shoot Casey! Once again, as I read this, I feel like I'm watching SVU on the TV. The way you handle the legal aspects, the character's personalities, and the dialogue is awesome. You make me want to join and start posting stuff! :) Great job! -and I totally understand the whole naming stuff after songs. I do that too |
EnforcerAndAccuserFan chapter 4 . 9/3/2008 You've written a story worthy of "Raw." The detective work and character interaction are so well-written, with everyone in-character and the diabolical POV of Joseph, that one doesn't find the chapter lacking without C/E interplay. Having the Chief of Detectives present as oppose to having him just phone is realistic and adds to the drama and suspense: the situation is very serious for him to the 1-6. Keep up the good work. |
